INTS
390 section 001: Comparative Development
Professor Jonathan Weiler
Counts
toward the Global Economics, Trade and Development theme
This course is an APPLES service learning course, whose goal is
to integrate real-world experience working with development-oriented
organizations, theoretical discussions about the origins and evolution of
development thinking, and exposure to the challenges facing practitioners
of development, in some of its many substantive and geographical contexts.
INTS
390 section 002: Latin American Immigrant Perspectives
Professor Hannah Gill
Counts
toward the Transnational Cultures theme
This interdisciplinary course combines
anthropological fieldwork, migration theory, and service-learning in an examination
of Latin American immigrant perspectives. During spring break,
students will work with migrant families on various community projects as
well as attend cultural events and visit diverse migrant communities in
Guanajuato.
INTS
390 section 003: Water, Cooperation and Conflict
Professor Marc Jeuland
Counts
toward the Global Economics, Trade and Development theme
Some experts argue that conflicts over water are
likely to become more frequent and violent as human population growth
increases pressure on available freshwater supplies. This course will focus
on both the conflictive and cooperative potential of water resources
problems. Our primary interest will be directed to transboundary water
issues, broadly defined. Conceptual issues and theories of hydro-politics,
the hydro-political complex, hydro hegemony and water security will be
discussed. The role of multiple and diverse stakeholders in these conflict
and cooperation processes will also be considered. Students will read about
contemporary research into patterns of water and resource conflict and
cooperation and learn about the norms and laws for mediating water conflict
at different jurisdictional levels. Students will be encouraged to
critically assess a) the assumptions of this research, and b) its attempts
to classify or systematize water conflicts. Case studies and practical
examples will complement the broader research. An instructor-led case study
of the Nile Basin will set an example for
student projects in other river basins.
INTS
390 section 004: Critical Perspectives on Development in China
Professor Michael Tsin
Counts
as an Asia Area Course
Where is China heading in the
twenty-first century? Three decades
from its reintegration into the global capitalist economic order, it
remains unclear, from the perspectives of many Americans, whether China represents a long-term partner or foe
for the United States. While the Western media is fond of
touting China
turning “capitalist,” the Chinese leadership insists that it is
constructing a Chinese-style socialist future for the country. Is that rhetoric or vision? This course will explore the various
political, economic, and social challenges facing China today, ranging from the
legitimacy of its Communist government and the impacts of its robust
consumer economy to its environmental problems and issues involving its
ethnic minorities. It will try to
arrive at some preliminary assessment of the ramifications of “China’s
Rise,” as the Chinese media likes to call it, on both its own people and
the world at large.
INTS
390 section 005: Human Rights, Ethics and Global Issues
Professor Eunice Sahle
Counts
toward the International Politics, Nation-States and Social Movements theme
In the last two decades, the philosophical and
normative ideas underpinning the post-1945 human rights regime has emerged
as a dominant frame in debates concerning major global issues: security,
development, war, globalization and many others. In the main, while the
concept of human rights remains a contested one, leading scholars of modern
human rights such as Jack Donnelly, Judith Blau and Abdullahi A. An-Naim
persuasively contend that the contemporary conjuncture is marked by an
overlapping and unforced consensus on the centrality of a human rights
perspective in rethinking national and global political, cultural and
economic issues. Similar arguments have emerged in institutions of global
governance such as the United Nations and its agencies as evidenced by
policy developments following the 2002 Millennium Summit such as the
crafting and mainstreaming of the Millennium Development Goals in state and
non-state sites focusing on the global issue of development. A range of social movements especially
those linked to the global World Social Forum process are also using the
language of rights to frame social justice struggles at local, national and
global levels.
Building
on these current developments this course will offer students an
opportunity to: 1) examine the political, economic and intellectual
developments that led to the emergence of human rights as a global
phenomenon historically and in the current phase of globalization; 2)
engage with debates concerning the role of human rights as an ethical
philosophy in thinking through contemporary global issues. We will particularly
pay attention to contemporary debates concerning cosmopolitan ethics; and
3 devote extended time not only
examining the analytical and ethical utility of a human rights frame in the
study of global issues, but also tensions and limitation of this frame.
